Burglary suspects from Sandisfield, Massachusetts stopped in Winsted

WINSTED >> Two suspects in a Sandisfield, Massachusetts shed larceny investigation were taken into custody Friday after Connecticut State Police stopped a vehicle at the intersection of Routes 8, 44 and 183 at the center of town.

The two suspects were being investigated for an alleged shed larceny by Massachusetts State Police on Friday, who notified Connecticut State Police of the vehicle's description. Connecticut State Police matched the vehicle's description and stopped the suspects without incident, according to a Connecticut State Police source.

Massachusetts State Police Lt. Daniel Richard said the suspects willingly went back to his department's barracks in Lee, Massachusetts, and their state police are continuing their investigation.

The arrest caused traffic to slow Friday afternoon in Winsted, where drivers slowly scooted through the intersection of Park Place and Main Street. Troopers from both states had their cars lining the roadway, along with Metropolitan District police (MDC).
